Quickly surmised, it's attractive, intense, and challenging, and for more dedicated gamers who looking to give their thumbs a workout despite a linear pathway, The Redemption is definitely worth a look.

If nothing else, the game certainly captures the dumb, single-minded spirit of the films. I'm not a fan of the series, but I did have fun with Redemption, despite its total lack of depth. For a while, that is.

The film came out a year ago and we've already endured one tragic game offering. This one is far better than that mess (which admittedly isn't saying very much) and despite its fundamental flaws, the game delivers some decent fun.

While fun at times, Redemption quickly gets tedious and repetitive with its unforgiving, "win or die and try again" design. If you are a true masochist then Atari is ready to make you its little bitch.

Now, it's possible that this game only looks as great as it does because the game it's following set those expectations so abysmally low, but even without taking that into consideration, it's still an incredibly fun game.

Great visuals and exciting gameplay warrant an eye out for a reduced price, but annoying AI and linear levels keep this title from the borderline of must-have-ness. A difficult one to rate, this; not superb, not average. Just in-between. And a credit to movie tie-ins.

It's pretty much what you'd expect from a trip to see this kind of fare at your local Odeon – lots of noise, lots of effects, dialogue kept to a minimum – it's a real rollercoaster of a ride (damn, that's a cliché if ever I wrote one.)

If you are looking for a game that is reminiscent of your standard shooter coin-op that used to be found in your local arcade, then look no further because Terminator 3: Redemption will be right up your alley.

Direct correlation to the movie, plus a few added extras, will give you the feeling that you are a part of the action, and using the dual controls to the fullest, this game won't leave you feeling terminated.

This is what T3: Rise of the Machines should have been! An outstanding combination of story with non-stop suspense.

Incredible high octane fun. The repetition can grind a bit, but this is greatly off-set by original ideas and thrill a minute gameplay. The Incredible high octane fun.
